 ## [Unreleased]

 ### Added
 - Formatter spec (SciML) and a required CI check whether all files are formatted. All future contributions are expected to follow this spec. For convenience, on Unix-based systems, you can run `make format` to format all files in the repository (requires having JuliaFormatter installed).
 - Convenience shortcut to start the llama.cpp server with `make server model=path/to/model` (works on Unix-based systems only).
 
-### Fixed
+### Updated
 - Updated docstrings for `run_llama`, `run_chat`, and `run_server` to be more informative.
-- Changed default `run_*` parameters to be more sensible for first-time users, including the `run_server` port number (`port=10897`) to be unique and not clash with other services.
+- Changed default `run_*` parameters to be more sensible for first-time users, including the `run_server` port number (`port=10897`) to be unique and not clash with other services and for `embeddings` to be enabled by default.
 - Updated run context with the necessary files for fast inference on Metal GPUs (eg, Apple Macbooks M-series)
+- Updated `llama.cpp` to `0.0.16` (b2382) for better performance and stability.

 - `n_gpu_layers`: number of layers to offload on the GPU (a.k.a. `ngl` in llama.cpp). Requires more VRAM on your GPU but can speed up inference.
   Set to 0 to run inference on CPU-only. Defaults to 99 (=practically all layers)
 - `ctx_size`: context size, ie, how big can the prompt/inference be. Defaults to 2048 (but most models allow 4,000 and more)
+- `embeddings`: whether to allow generating of embeddings. Defaults to `true`
+- `args`: additional arguments to pass to the server
